JUDGE ELLET's ADDRESS.
MEMPHIS, TENN Oct. I6 The fol
lowing is the address of welcome to
President Cleveland delivered by Judge
Elet hall hour before his death:
"You have recently participated in the
celebration Of the one hundredth enniver-
saTy Of the formation of the constitution
Of the United States, Snd you have beheld
5 multitude OF our fellow-countrymen
locking from every direction to the spot
where that instrument was fashioned and
renewing their vows OF feGlty at the
shrine Of that gTandeet monument Of
1uman wisdom. Let me say, sir, that
the southern hearts are in sympathy
with that interesting occasion; that no
Where in sill the broad land will you find
more loyslty to the constitution Of the
UGlled Ststes and the government created
oyltthsn among the people of southern
states. Differences Of opinion as TO its
theory and its proper construction in
some points existed from it's very crea-
uoD, and controversy has often been an
sly and bitter. One great and important
interest in the progress Of things became
secaon2lized; and out Cf it arose questions
0 constitutional Interpretation which
were regarded by the southernspeople SO
Vial to their rights ard interests that
uey committed their solution 10 the
1rolfament CT arms. But, Mr.. Presi-
oent, they nEVe bowed TO the stern logic
u events and they have, in frank, manly
manner, accepted the result Of the strug-
gle as final settlement of al questions
ID dispute, and they have since labored

sleil new conditions, to reconstruct their
WoEen fortunes, and to contribute, as far
Is possible, to the general prosperity and
Appiness OF the whole country. AS one
Practical result accomplished by the con-
l.eI the theory of the right
3 state to withdraw from the
general compact WAS overthrown
s4 the lndestructs oility OF the American
Snlon was established on the irmest
lIundations. The chief element Of dis
.OFo has been removed forever, and
'9ough questions will continue to arise
Soout which men may differ, and differ
sssfnestly, 1t is settled beyond appeal that
vi ell sbuses and grievances that may
sEise from the action If the general gov
eInment the remedy must hereafter be
sought within the pale Of the Union and
Sacer the forms of established law.
